Tritium Light Source - green


> Brand New Tritium Light Sources. Laser sealed in a 25mm x 3mm borosilicate glass tube which has been coated internally with phosphor. In one single process, the unit is sealed by a CO2 laser and injected with gaseous Tritium. The low energy electrons emitted by the Tritium, excite the phosphor and this creates a safe, low level light without heat and no risk of fire or explosion.
Tritium gas ( H3 ) is a radioactive form of ordinary Hydrogen gas ( H2 ).
High pressure Tritium gas is sealed inside these small borosilicate glass vials, and continuously emits low energy Beta radiation (electrons). These electrons impact a special phosphor coating on the inside of the tube, which in turn emits a visible GREEN glow. These low level light sources have unique properties, they are unaffected by water, oil and most corrosive materials. They are brand new with a 2025 manufacture date and will continuously glow for 10 to 20 years. They are totally fail-safe and maintenance free. They require no external power source or exposure to light in order to work. Tritium Light Sources go through a labor intensive manufacturing process with quality control being a dominant consideration. They are 100% inspected for dimensions, brightness, temperature, thermal shock and Tritium leakage. Random sample testing is performed continually for discoloration, brightness decay, reduced pressure and vibration effects. Only a very small quantity of Tritium gas in sealed within the tube, and are completely safe for all uses. Should you actually manage to break the tube, the tiny amount of Tritium gas will simply disperse and the unit will cease to function.
The light emitted by Tritium Light Sources can be seen up to about 20 feet away in total darkness. Very unique, unusual & useful.
